Weekly Health Update

Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart. ~ Erma Bombeck

This quote seriously made me chuckle but there is some truth in it as well. While I have been watching closely what I put into my body these days and making sure that it is for fueling purposes as opposed to just eat for the sake of eating, I have found that I can be a tad bit obsessive about counting calories and such. I think I needed to get to that point to break myself of some really bad habits and some of them are easier to break still than others, but I also know that I can allow myself to have a treat here and there and enjoy it without it really affecting me. 

So, this week was better for me than last. I lost 4 lbs this week!!! WOOT!! I reached 20lbs and I feel so great! The only thing that I can think of is that I started circuit training a little bit this week. By that I mean, walking/running on the treadmill, getting off, doing crunches, or triceps dips and then hopping back on the treadmill and going again. I think this may have moved things along. I am really starting to notice it in my clothes and my belly is certainly shrinking!!! I really am beginning to notice a difference and I like it. My energy levels are high and that makes me really HAPPY! It really was my main reason for changing the way I do things, so that is awesome.

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words! Have some ice cream this week and enjoy it without guilt, just have enough to satisfy and walk away proud of yourself for stopping when you have had enough!

Hugs!!
